This book was unnecessarily long and I was entirely bored from start to end. “[In Sayers’ stories] the crime is always committed in a way that is incredibly tortuous and quite uninteresting” is a review from George Orwell and he’s so fucking right. 

And of course the criminal was the misogynistic pick me. 500+ pages of boredom just for them to solve what I called from like page 100.
